• The method used to calculate the CO₂ emissions, selected from the following (Note that certain methods must be used if certain criteria are met):
  • 98.253(b)(1)(ii)(A) – Equation Y-1a Gas Composition Monitored (Equation Y-1a or Y-1b must be used if you have a continuous gas composition monitor on the flare or if you measure it at least weekly)
  • 98.253(b)(1)(ii)(A) – Equation Y-1b Gas Composition Monitored (Equation Y-1a or Y-1b must be used if you have a continuous gas composition monitor on the flare or if you measure it at least weekly)
  • 98.253(b)(1)(ii)(B) – Equation Y-2 Heat Content Monitored (Equation Y-2 must be used if you have a continuous higher heating value monitor or measure it at least weekly and the heating value monitor or measurement is not based on compositional analyses; if compositional analyses are used, you must use Equations 1a or 1b)
  • 98.253(b)(1)(iii) – Equation Y-3 Start-up, Shutdown, Malfunction (Equation Y-3 must be used if you do not measure gas composition or heating value at least weekly)
